IT
It breaks up families it causes unrest
It has a huge appetite lightly dressed
It blocks the senses it's a tunnel vision
It lies it smirks it is the worst decision
It's there with every prideful goodbye
It's there in the how the when and why
It's pervasive it puts you under a spell
It's a monster a demon right out of hell
It's always the winner it will never miss
It's out to get you I am telling you this
It's a motherfucker it's not your friend
It's your nemesis it wins you in the end
It feeds on you when you need a...

Through Your Eyes Only
A variation of Sheena Easton's lyrics For Your Eyes Only
Through your eyes only, I have to view my kind
Through your eyes only, the fear that's in your mind
You say you see the real me
And that I am just confused
I have never felt so callously abused
Through your eyes only, it's all about you
You only see what you want to see
But now I am busting free
Through your eyes only, it's all about you
A love I have inside of me
But you will never set it free
All about you, all about you
Through your eyes...
Through your eyes only, I have to view my kind
Through your eyes only, the fear that's in your mind
You say you see the real me
And that I am just confused
I have never felt so callously abused
Through your eyes only, it's all about you
You only see what you want to see
But now I am busting free
Through your eyes only, it's all about you
A love I have inside of me
But you will never set it free
All about you, all about you
Through your eyes...

Bloom
Don't wear a mask
That's all I ask
It's too common place
Know that it's right
Step into the light
Let me see your face
There's nothing to hide
I have seen inside
How beautiful you are
Please let it all go
Discontinue the show
Dare to raise your bar
Look love is all around
Don't be shy be found
In the company of men
There's nothing to fear
Wipe away that tear
You will be born again
That's all I ask
It's too common place
Know that it's right
Step into the light
Let me see your face
There's nothing to hide
I have seen inside
How beautiful you are
Please let it all go
Discontinue the show
Dare to raise your bar
Look love is all around
Don't be shy be found
In the company of men
There's nothing to fear
Wipe away that tear
You will be born again

Companions
Unlocked door opened wide
And my peace I must not hide
What once was very true
Can be made right again to fit
Another life no one knows
Endlessly our quest on goes
If you have only this one life
You had better start living it
Companions
We are all companions
However we may ride
A road narrow or wide
Left or the right side
Will you walk through my door?
I should have opened up before
For I know there is still a chance
For favorable winds once more
...
And my peace I must not hide
What once was very true
Can be made right again to fit
Another life no one knows
Endlessly our quest on goes
If you have only this one life
You had better start living it
Companions

However we may ride

Obsessor
To you violent obsessor
i don't want your spunk
You are not my possessor
You are just a twisted punk
To you oh great doll buster
i am not your earthly prize
If that is all you can muster
Buy a new one in your size
i don't want your sick love
i don't thirst for laced drinks
i don't care what you shove
Or how low your brain sinks
Let me be or face my wrath
Had just about enough of you
You chose it so walk your path
Your filthy bed lay in that too
i don't want your spunk
You are not my possessor
You are just a twisted punk
To you oh great doll buster
i am not your earthly prize
If that is all you can muster
Buy a new one in your size
i don't want your sick love
i don't thirst for laced drinks
i don't care what you shove
Or how low your brain sinks
Let me be or face my wrath
Had just about enough of you
You chose it so walk your path
Your filthy bed lay in that too

Note To Self
I have finally figured it out
And know what it's all about
It's a shocking realization
Do you read in anticipation?
I find that rather funny actually
You are not really here factually
When for all is done and all said
You are neither alive nor dead
And I am neither here nor there
There is no here or everywhere
I made it all up on a boring day
It is true man is made out of clay
I am actually writing to myself
There is factually nothing else
I don't care if lines don't rhyme
For I created space and time
You are here...
And know what it's all about
It's a shocking realization
Do you read in anticipation?
I find that rather funny actually
You are not really here factually
When for all is done and all said
You are neither alive nor dead
And I am neither here nor there
There is no here or everywhere
I made it all up on a boring day
It is true man is made out of clay
I am actually writing to myself
There is factually nothing else
I don't care if lines don't rhyme
For I created space and time
You are here...

No Title
And you are living in a dead end town
And life is really weighing you down
And you feel like you are under a curse
When you struggle you make it worse
You tend to put in some extra work
Though you know you work for a jerk
Your wife has you locked in her purse
When you struggle you make it worse
Your leash is tight your race is fervent
Everyone treats you like a servant
You are a tiny speck in the universe
When you struggle you make it worse
And you realize your goose is cooked
And your situation is truly fooked...
And life is really weighing you down
And you feel like you are under a curse
When you struggle you make it worse
You tend to put in some extra work
Though you know you work for a jerk
Your wife has you locked in her purse
When you struggle you make it worse
Your leash is tight your race is fervent
Everyone treats you like a servant
You are a tiny speck in the universe
When you struggle you make it worse
And you realize your goose is cooked
And your situation is truly fooked...

Wewelsburg Castle 1944
I remember that day although I really shouldn't
I wanted so to stay he told me that I couldn't
Gazing at him realized that he was just a man
And I was no longer any part of his great plan
He was my second father he was my mentor
He didn't even bother to tell what it was for
Shuffling through the courtyard feeling so low
Wild thoughts of escape with nowhere to go
I walked outside the tower admiring it's curves
A dread of looming hour shattering my nerves
Beauty all around me observed with teary eyes...
I wanted so to stay he told me that I couldn't
Gazing at him realized that he was just a man
And I was no longer any part of his great plan
He was my second father he was my mentor
He didn't even bother to tell what it was for
Shuffling through the courtyard feeling so low
Wild thoughts of escape with nowhere to go
I walked outside the tower admiring it's curves
A dread of looming hour shattering my nerves
Beauty all around me observed with teary eyes...

Satellite
You turn the tide to ebb and flow
A pockmarked face of craters wide
Yet some of us still want to know
What's concealed on your other side
Groovy gray satellite in the sky
Who placed you there and why?
It is said at night you're cold as hell
And burning sunlight makes you glow
We hit you hard you rang like a bell
So we calculated you must be hollow
Groovy gray satellite in the sky
Who placed you there and why?
The lunatics they worshiped you
They fell into obscurity long ago
But maybe it...
A pockmarked face of craters wide
Yet some of us still want to know
What's concealed on your other side
Groovy gray satellite in the sky
Who placed you there and why?
It is said at night you're cold as hell
And burning sunlight makes you glow
We hit you hard you rang like a bell
So we calculated you must be hollow
Groovy gray satellite in the sky
Who placed you there and why?
The lunatics they worshiped you
They fell into obscurity long ago
But maybe it...

Egg & i
i have a companion
A friend you could say
An immaculate white Egg
Of ultra dimensional design
i think of Egg as female
i reside inside Her
She has no name
She just is
i call her my Egg
She doesn't seem to mind
Time means nothing to Egg
She is truly a wondrous being
Am grateful to have Her
In whatever this is
i think She likes having me
In whatever that is
She has a console a bunk
A panoramic screen wall
A chair and counter
Equipment storage area ...
